BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to aminopiperidine derivatives having integrin α_(v)β₃ antagonistic activity and pharmaceuticals comprising the same.

2. Background Art

A signal transduction system is very important to organisms from the viewpoint of maintaining life and inheriting the life over to the next generation, specifically from the viewpoints of physiological significance, mechanisms for the regulation of gene expression and the like. It has recently been clarified that integrins, glycoprotein receptors which are involved in cell adhesion and penetrate cell membranes, are related, for example, to wound healing and hemostasis, phagocytosis, biophylaxis, and the construction of cytoskeletons and, in addition, as such are molecules for signal transduction. For this reason, in recent years, organic chemistry associated with integrins has suddenly become drawn attention from the viewpoint of pharmacology, as well as from the viewpoints of molecular biology and cell biology.

It is being elucidated that, while the conformation of integrins undergoes a dynamic and complicate change, integrins binds to various ligands to transmit signal in both intracellular and extracellular directions (Junichi Takagi et al., The 50th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society for Cell Biology, S5-1, 1997). T. A. Springer of Harvard Medical School has recently predicted that a certain activated integrin has a β-propeller structure and binds to a ligand on the upper face of the β-propeller (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 94, 65, 1997). This hypothesis was also supported by researchers in our country (Atsushi Irie et al., The 50th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society for Cell Biology, S5-2, 1997), and three-dimensional analysis on a molecular level associated with the activation of integrins, binding between integrins and ligands and the like has been initiated on a full scale.

Among them, integrin α_(v)β_(3 binds) binds to various extracellular matrixes, that is, ligands deeply involved, for example, in biodynamics or the crisis of diseases, such as vitronectin, fibrinogen, fibronectin, osteopontin, thrombospondin, von Willebrand factors, and collagen, to form complexes. Accordingly, integrin α_(v)β₃ is of special interest as a potential drug target. In fact, α_(v)β₃ is expressed in a large amount in B cells, macrophages, monocytes, smooth muscle cells, activated endothelial cells and the like. Further, α_(v)β₃ is known not to be strongly expressed in endothelial cells in a resting stage, but to be highly activated in the course of growth and infiltration, that is, in vascularization, wound healing, and inflamed sites. Further, the correlation between the frequency of expression of α_(v)β₃ and the increase in infiltration of cancer has been observed in various cancer cells. On the other hand, a group of researchers at Scripps Research Institute in U.S.A. have clarified by advanced computer-assisted video imaging microscopy that microvascular expression of α_(v)β₃ is observed during experimental middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion in a baboon as a model (Y. Okada et al., Am. J. Pathol., 149, 37, 1996).

As described above, relationship of cell species, which express integrin α_(v)β₃ in vivo, with α_(v)β₃ activation stage, biophylaxis mechanism and the like has led to an expectation of clinical application of molecules having integrin α_(v)β₃ antagonistic activity in various fields. In fact, compounds having integrin α_(v)β₃ antagonistic activity are intended to be used clinically, and the results of animal tests on compounds having α_(v)β₃ antagonistic activity in a wide range of diseases have been reported (S. S. Srivatsa et al., The 69th Annual Meeting of American Heart Association, 0231, 1996 (DuPont-Merck); J. F. Gourvest et al., The 18th Annual Meeting of The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, p228, 1996 (Roussel-Hoechst); S. B. Rodan et al., The 18th Annual Meeting of The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, M430, 1996 (Merck); T. L. Yue et al., The 70th Annual Meeting of American Heart Association, 3733, 1997 (SmithKline Beecham); A. L. Racanelli et al., The 70th Annual Meeting of American Heart Association, 3734, 1997 (DuPont-Merck); and W. S. Westlin, Conference of American IBC, Feb. 23, 1998 (Searle & Co.).

From the viewpoint of chemical structure, compounds having integrin α_(v)β₃ antagonistic activity can be classified into antibodies, low-molecular peptide and compounds analogous thereto, and small molecules. All the antagonists are structurally related to the sequence of tripeptide RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) that are considered indispensable for recognition in the attachment of a ligand. Low-molecular peptides having antagonistic activity include disintegrins derived from venom of snakes and, in addition, cyclic peptides. One of them, GpenGRGDSPCA, has been reported to inhibit migration of smooth muscle cells and to block integrin α_(v)β₃, thereby actually inhibiting neointima formation in rabbits (E. T. Choi et al., J. Vasc. Surg.,19, 125, 1994). On the other hand, the cyclic peptide containing BTD designed by a β-turn mimic has been proved to strongly binds to α_(v)β₃ receptors (M. Goodman et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 7, 997, 1997).

Several methods are known for designing small molecules through the utilization of the amino acid sequence of interest (RGD being used herein) as a key. For example, a peptide mimetic for constructing a new molecule based on the backbone of a peptide chain is generally known in the art. The concept of a new de novo design focused on the chemical structure and spatial configuration of amino acid side chains has been introduced for the first time early in the 1990s (R. Hirschman et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 115, 12550, 1993). An attempt to apply this approach to the design and synthesis of α_(v)β₃ antagonists has already been initiated (K. C. Nicolaou et al., Tetrahedron, 53, 8751, 1997).

Up to now, small molecules having α_(v)β₃ antagonistic activity are disclosedipn WO 9532710, WO 9637492, WO 9701540, WO 9708145, WO 9723451, WO 9723480, WO 9724119, WO 9726250, WO 9733887, WO 9736858, WO 9736859, WO 9736860, WO 9736861, WO 9736862, and EP 0796855.

Nos. 5,843,906 and 5,852,210, WO 9737655, WO 9808840, WO 9818460, WO 981359, WO 9835949, WO 9846220, British Patent Nos. 2326609 and 2327672, WO 9843962, WO 9724336, WO 9830542, WO 9905107, EP 820988, EP 820991, EP 853084, and Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 6, 1185-1208 (1998), which were published after the priority date of the present application.

Production of compounds

Compounds represented by formula (I), wherein X represents CH and Z represents N. may be produced according to the following scheme:

<Step 1>

An optionally substituted ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate may be reacted with 4-hydroxypiperidine or 3-pyrrolidinol which is optionally substituted at the carbon atom(s) (a piperidine derivative) in the presence of a reaction solvent, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane, or butanol, preferably dimethyl sulfoxide, at 50° C. to 180° C., preferably 80° C. to 140° C., to prepare a compound represented by formula (II). In this reaction, an organic base such as diisopropylethylamine or an inorganic salt such as ammonium chloride may be added as an acid scavenger.

In addition to ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate, other ester compounds, for example, methyl, propyl, butyl, or benzyl ester compounds, may be used as the starting compound.

Further, in addition to ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate, other 4-halogenobenzoates which have been substituted at the 4-position, for example, ethyl 4-iodobenzoate and ethyl 4-bromobenzoate, may be used. Among them, the use of ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate is preferred from the viewpoint of yield.

Furthermore, in addition to ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate, optionally substituted 4-fluorobenzonitrile may be used as a starting compound. In this case, in a proper later step, for example, acid hydrolysis or the like may be performed for conversion to a free carboxyl group, thereby producing a compound represented by formula (VI).

An aminopiperidine of which the primary amine is optionally protected, for example, 4-aminopiperidine, may also be used as the piperidine derivative. The use of the aminopiperidine derivative is advantageous in that the step of introducing the amino group (step 2) may be omitted.

Alternatively, the compound represented by formula (II) may be produced by reacting ethyl 4-bromobenzoate with a piperidine derivative in the presence of palladium, a phosphine ligand, and a base. Phosphine ligands usable herein include 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl, bis(diphenylphosphino)propane, bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, tri-t-butylphosphine, tri-o-tolylphosphine, and triphenylphosphine. Among them, 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl is preferred. Bases include sodium t-butoxide, cesium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and triethylamine. Among them, sodium t-butoxide is preferred. Piperidines include hydroxypiperidine, pyrrolidinol, azetidinol, azepanol, and azocanol.

<Step 2>

The compound represented by formula (II) may be reacted with phthalimide and an azo compound in a reaction solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene, dioxane, or dimethylformamide, preferably tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of a trialkylphosphine, preferably tributylphosphine, at −40° C. to 100° C., preferably −10° C. to 40° C., followed by the removal of the phthaloyl group to produce a compound represented by formula (III). Azo compounds include 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine, diethyl azodicarboxylate, and 1,1′-azobis(N,N-dimethylformamide). Among them, 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine is preferred.

Alternatively, the compound represented by formula (III) may be produced by converting the hydroxyl group in the compound represented by formula (II) to a leaving group, for example, a sulfonyloxy group such as a methanesulfonyloxy group, or a halogen atom such as a bromine atom, allowing sodium azide or a combination of hydrazoic acid with an azo compound to act on the leaving group to convert the leaving group to an azide group, and then reducing the azide group. See intermediates 35, 36, 41, 42, 43, 47, 48, 49, and 58.

<Step 3>

Group A may be introduced into the free primary amine in the compound represented by formula (III) to produce a compound represented by formula (IV). The N—C bond between the compound represented by formula (III) and group A may be formed by reacting the compound represented by formula (III) with a reagent, such as optionally modified or substituted 2-bromopyrimidine, modified or substituted 2-chlorobenzimidazole, or 2-methylthio-2-imidazoline, in the presence of a reaction solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane, pyridine, or methanol, preferably dimethylformamide, at 50° C. to 170° C., preferably 60° C. to 140° C.

Reagents usable in this step is not limited to those recited herein, and any reagent may be used so far as a carbon atom attached to two nitrogen atoms finally combines with the nitrogen atom in the primary amine attached to a carbon atom in the piperidine derivative to form a single bond. Further, optimization of the kind of substrates used and reaction conditions permits the N—C bond to be formed by reacting palladium having a valency of 0 (zero), a phosphine ligand, and a base. Furthermore, the N—C bond may be formed in accordance with the method of Tetrahedron, 51(2), 353, 1995. See intermediates 26, 27, 29, and 39.

An organic base, such as diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, dimethylaminopyridine, or triethylamine, is preferably added as an acid scavenger from the viewpoint of improving the yield. The addition of 2 to 10 equivalents of diisopropylethylamine is preferred.

A compound represented by formula (IV) wherein R⁴ is substituted may be prepared by conventional or reductive N-alkylation followed by the introduction of group A into the primary amino group in the compound represented by formula (III), or alternatively the introduction of group A into the primary amino group in the compound represented by formula (III) followed by N-alkylation of the secondary amino group. See intermediate 30.

Alternatively, the compound represented by formula (IV) may be produced by suitably oxidizing a hydroxyl group in the piperidine derivative portion of the compound represented by formula (II) to give a ketone which is then reductively aminated with an amino-containing compound (a compound corresponding to group A), for example, 2-aminopyrimidine.

The compound represented by formula (IV) may also be produced by reacting a compound that is previously prepared by attaching a basic functional group corresponding to group A, for example, pyrimidine or benzimidazole, to a primary amino group in an aminopiperidine, with ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate. See intermediates 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, and 25.

<Step 4>

The carboxylic ester represented by formula (IV) may be hydrolyzed, followed by the formation of an amide bond to produce a compound represented by formula (V). More specifically, a free carboxyl group prepared by hydrolysis with an alkali according to a conventional method is reacted with an amine represented by formula

R⁹HNCHR¹⁰CHR¹¹COOR¹²

wherein R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, and R¹² are as defined in formula (I), to perform condensation reaction, thereby producing the amide compound represented by formula (V).

Among the compounds represented by formula (V), compounds having an optionally substituted pyrimidine ring may be, if necessary, reduced to a corresponding tetrahydropyrimidine.

In the condensation reaction, a condensing agent, such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diisopropylcarbodiimide, or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, may be used either solely or in combination with a peptide synthesis reagent, such as N-hydroxysuccinimide, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, or benzotriazol-1-yloxytri(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate. The combination of these reagents permits the desired condensation reaction to proceed with high efficiency. The use of a combination of 1 to 3 equivalents of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride with 1 to 2 equivalents of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole is preferred from the viewpoint of optimizing the yield.

Reaction solvents usable in the condensation reaction include dimethylformamide, dioxane, and tetrahydrofuran. Among them, dimethylformamide is preferred. The reaction may be carried out at 0° C. to 80° C., preferably 20° C. to 60° C.

In the condensation reaction, a tertiary amine, such as diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, dimethylaminopyridine, or triethylamine, may be added as an organic base from the viewpoint of improving the yield. Among these tertiary amines, N-methylmorpholine is preferably added in an amount of 2 to 10 equivalents.

The compound represented by formula (V), wherein >C═O attached to the phenylene portion is >CH₂, may be produced by reducing a carboxylic ester in the compound represented by formula (IV) to convert the carboxylic ester to an aldehyde group and then reductively reacting the resulting compound with an amine represented by formula

R⁹HNCHR¹⁰CHR¹¹COOR¹²

wherein R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, and R¹² are as defined above in connection with formula (I). See Example 46.

The compounds represented by formula (V) prepared by the reductive amination wherein R⁹ represents a group other than the hydrogen atom may be produced by the step of reaction other than described above. Specifically, the free aldehyde group may be reductively reacted with an amine represented by formula

H₂NCHR¹⁰CHR¹¹COOR¹²

wherein R¹⁰, R¹¹, and R¹² are as defined in formula (I), to produce a compound of formula (V) wherein R⁹ represents a hydrogen atom. Thereafter, the product may be further reacted by reductive amination to introduce an alkyl, alkenyl, or aralkyl group into R⁹. The introduction of the alkyl, alkenyl, or aralkyl group into R⁹ is not always carried out only for the compound represented by formula (V) in the scheme. Specifically, the introduction of the alkyl, alkenyl, or aralkyl group into R⁹ may be carried out for the compound represented by formula (VI) in the scheme. See Example 49.

In this reaction, R¹² in —COOR¹² corresponding to the carboxylic ester portion of the amine may be a hydrogen atom.

<Step 5>

The carboxylic ester portion in the compound represented by formula (V) in the scheme may be optionally converted to a free carboxyl group to produce the compound represented by formula (VI).

The carboxylic ester portion in the compound represented by formula (V) may be converted to the intended free carboxyl group by a conventional method, for example, by hydrolysis with an alkali, hydrolysis with an acid, or reaction with an acid. The deesterification reaction may be achieved by a novel method without any restriction or limitation.

The compound represented by formula (V) as such is integrin α_(v)β₃ antagonist and/or GP IIb/IIIa antagonist that can be orally administered. Therefore, the step of converting the carboxylic ester to the free carboxyl group is not always necessary.

Among the compounds represented by formula (VI), compounds having an optionally substituted pyrimidine ring may be optionally reduced to a corresponding tetrahydropyrimidine. The reduction may be carried out by a conventional method. Examples of reduction methods usable herein include catalytic reduction in the presence of a catalyst, such as palladium-carbon, ruthenium-carbon, rhodium-carbon, palladium oxide, platinum oxide, ruthenium oxide, rhodium platinum oxide complex, rhodium aluminum oxide complex, Raney nickel, or palladium black, and a reaction, for example, with metallic sodium or metallic lithium in liquid ammonia. Preferably, the reduction is carried out in an acidic solvent, for example, in acetic acid acidified with hydrochloric acid, in the presence of palladium-carbon with hydrogen under normal or applied pressure.

<Steps 6, 7, and 8>

The compound represented by formula (VII) may be produced by previously protecting the primary amine in the piperidine derivative portion of the compound represented by formula (III), converting the benzoic ester portion to a free carboxyl group, and reacting the carboxyl group with an amine represented by formula

R⁹HNCHR¹⁰CHR¹¹COOR¹²

wherein R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, and R¹² are as defined above in connection with formula (I), to form an amide bond. In the compound represented by formula (VII), R³¹ represents a protective group of the amino group. Protective groups usable for the amino group include t-butyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, and p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl. Among them, t-butyloxycarbonyl is preferred.

Next, the protective group in the piperidine derivative portion may be removed, if necessary, followed by conversion of the carboxylic ester portion to a free carboxyl group, thereby producing a compound represented by formula (VIII).

The compound represented by formula (VI) may be produced by introducing a basic functional group corresponding to group A, for example, a pyrimidine, benzimidazole, or amidino group, into the deprotected primary amine according to step 3, and then optionally converting the carboxylic ester portion to a free carboxyl group. See intermediates 20, 21, and 22 and Examples 21 and 22.

In the scheme, for example, the compound represented by formula (IV) is first converted to the compound represented by formula (V) to form an amide bond, followed by reduction of an optionally substituted pyrimidine ring in the compound represented by formula (VI). However, for example, a basic functional group, for example, an optionally substituted pyrimidine ring, bonded to the primary amino group of the piperidine derivative among the compounds represented by formula (IV) may be reduced followed by amide bond formation.

Suzuki, and E. Ruoslahti, Method in Enzymology, 144, 475-489 (1987)) was diluted 50 times with TBS (20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl₂, 1 mM MgCl₂, pH 7.4), and distributed and coated on wells (50 μl/well) of a plate (Maxisorp, Nunc, 96 well Immuno Plate). The plate was then allowed to stand at 4° C. for 1 day, washed twice with TBS (200 μl/well), and then subjected to blocking with TBS (150 μl/well) containing 1% bovine serum albumin (SIGMA) at 4° C. overnight. After washing twice with TBS (200 μl/well), 50 μl of vitronectin (CALBIOCHEM) adjusted to 0.2 μg/ml by the addition of TBS (TBS-Tween) containing 0.01% Tween-20 was mixed with 50 μl of each test compound adjusted to each concentration in wells, and a reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 4 hr. After the completion of the reaction, the wells were washed five times with TBS-Tween. A solution prepared by diluting anti-vitronectin rabbit antiserum (CHEMICON) 500 times with TBS-Tween was added as a primary antibody in an amount of 50 μl/well, and a reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1.5 hr. After washing five times with 200 μl/well of TBS-Tween, a peroxidase (POD)-labeled anti-rabbit IgG antibody solution (CAPPEL) diluted 500 times with TBS-Tween was added as a secondary antibody in an amount of 50 μl/well, and a reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1.5 hr. After washing five times with TBS-Tween (200 μl/well), ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), SIGMA) was adjusted to 1 mg/ml by the addition of a ten-fold diluted POD-buffer (ZYMED), and added in an amount of 50 μl/well, and a reaction was allowed to proceed for 5 to 10 min. A 0.1 M citric acid buffer (pH 4.3) containing 0.05% NaN₃ was added in an amount of 50 μl/well to stop the reaction, followed by the measurement of the absorbance at 415 nm with a microplate reader (MTP 32, Corona Electric) (reference: 675 nm). The total binding was defined as the absorbance after a reaction using 50 μl of TBS-Tween instead of the test compound, and the non-specific binding (100% inhibition) was defined as the absorbance after a reaction using 50 μl of TBS-Tween containing 2×10⁻³ M RGDS. The inhibition was calculated by the following equation: ${{Inhibition}\quad (\%)} = {100 - {\frac{\begin{matrix} \left( {{absorbance}\quad {in}\quad {the}\quad {presence}}\quad \right. \\ {{{of}\quad {test}\quad {compound}} -} \\ \left. {{non}\text{-}{specific}\quad {binding}} \right) \end{matrix}}{\left( {{{total}\quad {binding}} - {{non}\text{-}{specific}\quad {binding}}} \right)} \times 100}}$

IC₅₀ was determined from a primary regression line of the logarithm of each concentration of the test compound and the logarithm of (100−inhibition)/inhibition.

As a result, all the compounds of Examples 22, 28, 31, 33, 35, 36, 38, 42, 52, 54, 57, 60, 68, 73, 75, 78, 93 and 95 had significant integrin α_(v)β₃ antagonistic activity, and had an IC₅₀ value of not more than 1.0 nM.

Inhibitory Activity Against Adhesion of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells to Vitronectin

The adhesion of human vascular smooth muscle cells =+to immobilized human vitronectin was measured in accordance with the method of Liaw et al. (Liaw L, Almeida M, Hart C E, Schwartz S M, and Giachelli C M, Circulation Research, 74 (2), 214-224 (1994)).

A Dulbecco's phosphate buffer (Dulbecco's PBS(−), Nissui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) solution of human plasma-derived vitronectin (CALBIOCHEM) adjusted to a concentration of 4 μg/ml was first added to wells (50 μl/well) of a microplate (Maxisorp, Nunc), and a reaction for immobilization was allowed to proceed at 4° C. overnight. After washing twice with 150 μl of Dulbecco's phosphate buffer, a Dulbecco's phosphate buffer containing 10 mg/ml of bovine serum albumin (SIGMA) was added, followed by blocking at 37° C. for one hr. The assay plate was washed twice with 150 μl of Dulbecco's phosphate buffer.

Separately, human vascular smooth muscle cells cultivated at 37° C. under 5% carbon dioxide in a medium for vascular smooth muscle cells (Clonetics) were separated using a Dulbecco's phosphate buffer containing trypsin-EDTA (GIBCO BRL), washed with Dulbecco's phosphate buffer, and then suspended in a Dulbecco's modified Eagle's basal medium (Nissui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin to a concentration of 5×10⁵/ml.

Next, 50 μl of a Dulbecco's modified Eagle's basal medium containing 10 mg/ml of bovine serum albumin with a medicament added thereto was added to the wells of the human vitronectin-coated assay microplate, followed by pre-cultivation under 5% carbon dioxide at 37° C. for 10 min. Thereafter, 50 μl of the medium with human vascular smooth muscle cells suspended therein was added thereto, and the plate was thoroughly stirred. A reaction was allowed to proceed under 5% carbon dioxide at 37° C. for 90 min. The reaction solution containing non-adherent cells were then removed, followed by washing three times with Dulbecco's phosphate buffer. For the adhered cells, 100 μl of a Dulbecco's phosphate buffer containing 4% paraformaldehyde (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was added, and immobilization was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 10 min. Next, 100 μl of a Dulbecco's phosphate buffer containing 0.5% Toluidine Blue (Croma) and 4% paraformaldehyde was added, and staining was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 5 min, followed by thorough washing with distilled water. The inside of the wells was then air-dried, and a 1% aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate solution was then added to perform cytolysis. The absorbance of the microplate thus obtained was measured at 595 nm. The total binding was defined as the absorbance of the well not containing the test compound, and the non-specific binding (100% inhibition) was defined as the absorbance of the well which does not contain vitronectin and has been subjected to blocking with bovine serum albumin. The inhibition was calculated by the following equation. IC₅₀ was determined from a primary regression line of the logarithm of each concentration of the test compound and the logarithm of (100−inhibition)/inhibition. ${{Inhibition}\quad (\%)} = {100 - {\frac{\begin{matrix} \left( {{absorbance}\quad {in}\quad {the}\quad {presence}}\quad \right. \\ {{{of}\quad {test}\quad {compound}} -} \\ \left. {{non}\text{-}{specific}\quad {binding}} \right) \end{matrix}}{\left( {{{total}\quad {binding}} - {{non}\text{-}{specific}\quad {binding}}} \right)} \times 100}}$

As a result, all the compounds of Examples 35, 52, 57, 60, 75, and 93 had strong cell adhesion inhibitory activity and had an IC₅₀ value on the inhibitory activity against the adhesion of human vascular smooth muscle cells to vitronectin of not more than 70 nM.

α₅β₁ Binding Assay

Integrin α₅β₁ antagonistic activity (lethality) was measured for the compounds according to the present invention in a fibronectin-fibronectin receptor binding assay system in accordance with the method of Kouns et al. (W. C. Kouns, D. Kirchhofer, P. Hadvary, A. Edenhofer, T. Weller, G. Pfenninger, H. R. Baumgartner, L. K. Jennings, and B. Steiner, Blood, 80, 2539-2547 (1992)).

Specifically, a fibronectin receptor (protein content: 52.1 μg/ml) purified from the human placenta by the method of Pytela et al. (R. Pytela, M. D. Pierschbacher, S. Argraves, S. Suzuki, and E. Ruoslahti, Method in Enzymology, 144, 475-489 (1987)) was diluted 25 times with TBS (20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl₂, 1 mM MgCl₂, pH 7.4), and distributed and coated on wells (50 μl/well) of a plate (Maxisorp, Nunc, 96 well Immuno Plate). The plate was then allowed to stand at 4° C. for one day, washed twice with TBS (200 μl/well), and then subjected to blocking with TBS (150 μl/well) containing 3% skim milk (DIFCO) at 4° C. overnight. After washing twice with TBS (200 μl/well) containing 0.05% Tween-20 and then washing twice with TBS (200 μl/well), purification was carried out according to the method of E. Engvall et al. (E. Engvall, E. Ruoslahti, and E. J. Miller, J. Exp. Med., 147, 1584-1595 (1978)), and 50 1l of fibronectin adjusted to 0.2 μg/ml by the addition of TBS (TBS-Tween) containing 0.01% Tween-20 was mixed with 50 μl of each test compound adjusted to each concentration in the wells, and a reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 3 hr. After the completion of the reaction, the wells were washed five times with TBS-Tween. A solution prepared by diluting a peroxidase-labeled fibronectin antibody (CAPPEL) 500 times with TBS-Tween was added in an amount of 50 μl per well, and a reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1.5 hr. After washing five times with TBS-Tween (200 μl/well), ABTS (SIGMA) adjusted to 1 mg/ml by the addition of a ten-fold diluted POD-buffer (ZYMED) was added in an amount of 50 μl/well, and a reaction was allowed to proceed for 5 to 10 min. A 0.1 M citric acid buffer (pH 4.3) containing 0.05% NaN₃ was added in an amount of 50 μl/well to stop the reaction, followed by the measurement of the absorbance at 415 nm with a microplate reader (MTP 32, Corona Electric) (reference: 675 nm). The total binding was defined as the absorbance after a reaction using 50 μl of TBS-Tween instead of the test compound, and the non-specific binding (100% inhibition) was defined as the absorbance after a reaction using 50 μl of TBS-Tween containing 2×10⁻³ M RGDS. The inhibition was calculated by the following equation: ${{Inhibition}\quad (\%)} = {100 - {\frac{\begin{matrix} \left( {{absorbance}\quad {in}\quad {the}\quad {presence}}\quad \right. \\ {{{of}\quad {test}\quad {compound}} -} \\ \left. {{non}\text{-}{specific}\quad {binding}} \right) \end{matrix}}{\left( {{{total}\quad {binding}} - {{non}\text{-}{specific}\quad {binding}}} \right)} \times 100}}$

IC₅₀ was determined from a primary regression line of the logarithm of each concentration of the test compound and the logarithm of (100−inhibition)/inhibition.

The results were as follows.

α₅β₁ Binding inhibitory activity, Example μM  3 1.6 10 1.6 22 2.5 24 6.9 28 1.3 52 0.33 68 11.5
